so I wanted to photoshop an avatar

I thought I see how it goes before I get boo-ed off the Forum

Actually, I couldnt decide on one for a while, because I didnt think it was interesting enough to put someone/something else's image;
neither it was interesting enough to just put own picture, - aint that exciting

So, I took a picture with two of the swords that I own (if you even can tell), and Photoshop-ed it.
No other image was added to the original. I've only added filters, brushes, adjusted colors and what not.

Which one? need more work?
Alright, make fun

#1 is my vote

Maybe retake #1, but hold the sword up next to your face, if you ever seen highlander tv series, kinda like this, but angled more like your getting ready to swing.

ok, will try that

EDIT I was thinking, the problem with that though, since it's a 80x80 image, either the image itself needs to be small - so that you can see the sword (like # 2 and 3) or it may not be obvious that it's a blade, if you can only see the tip on the # 1...

if I get it to look ok, I'll post it, if not, I am just gonna go with # 1,
2 and 3 do feel kinda small
